NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
TITLE: NMAUX1.EXE; NMA MIBs for Unix
README FOR: NMAUX1.EXE
NOVELL PRODUCTS and VERSIONS:
NetWare Management Agent 2.1
ManageWise 2.0 All
ABSTRACT:
NMAUX1.EXE provides a prepared suite of NetWare Managment Agent
2.1 MIBs for compiling on certain Unix management consoles. This
enables the server management portion of ManageWise 2.0 or NMA
2.1 to provide server performance data & fault info to SunNet
Manager, HP OpenView, and SystemView for AIX management consoles.
We recommend that you download NMAUX1.EXE if you own ManageWise
2.0 (or have purchased NMAgent 2.1 separately) and ALSO own one
of the following:
- SunNet: Manager 2.2.2 for Solaris 1.1.1
- HP OpenView
- IBM's SystemView for AIX

DOCUMENT IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY. NOVELL MAKES NO EXPLICIT
OR IMPLIED CLAIMS TO THE VALIDITY OF THIS INFORMATION.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ISSUE:
ManageWise 2.0 and NetWare Management Agent 2.1 provide real-time
server performance data and information about server alarms to
network management consoles.
Use the proper NetWare Management Agent 2.1 MIB suite, in
NMAUX1.EXE, for your SNMP Unix Based Management Stations:
A. The files in the SUN directory for SunNet Manager
B. The files in the HP directory for the HP OVW Node Manager
C. The files in the IBM directory for IBM SystemView for AIX
Each directory contains a .TXT file with installation and use
instructions
plus a version of each of the following 5 MIBs:
1. NWSERVER.MIB (NetWare Server)
2. RFC1514.MIB (Host Resources)
3. NWHOSTX.MIB (Extensions to the Host Resources)
4. NWTREND.MIB (NetWare Trends and Thresholds)
5. NWALARM.MIB (NetWare Server Trap)
OVERVIEW OF THE THREE SYSTEMS
A. SunNet Manager (SNM)
--------------------
Version: SunNetManager Version 2.2.2 for Solaris 1.1.1
Platform: SunSPARC station, IPX
SunNet Manager, Version 2.2.2 for Solaris 1.1.1 is an
OpenWindows
application using the OPEN LOOK graphical user interface. SNM
provides a
set of tools and services which allow the user to perform
fundamental
tasks in managing a network.
SNM communicates with devices on the network via Proxy Agents
which are
used to transmit and/or gather information pertaining to devices
on the
network. The SunNet Manager Console communicates via the Remote
Procedure
Call (RPC) protocol to an SNMP proxy agent in order to gather
NMA data from
a NetWare Server. The SNMP proxy agent translates the RPC
protocol data
request into an SNMP protocol request which is sent to a
specific device
(NetWare Server). The data is returned from the Novell NetWare
Server via
the same path.

The trap daemon can be configured to forward some or all traps
to one or
more SNM Console. The SNMP device issuing the traps must be
configured to
send traps to the host where trap daemon resides. The trap
daemon need not
reside on the SNMP proxy agent system or the Console system, it
can be
distributed on a network to reduce network traffic and to share
the
processing load.

NMA MIBs for SNM
Use the NMA 2.1 MIBS in NMAUX1.EXE to be able to compile and
load the MIBs
on the SunNet Manager Console.
B. HP OVW Network Node Manager
------------------------------
Version: HP OpenView, Network Node Manager, Version 3.0
Platform: HP Apollo 9000, Series 700 and on Sun SPARC Station
HP OpenView Windows (OVW) is a graphical user interface designed
to
integrate the presentation of network management and systems
management
applications. OVW users access network management functionality
through
pull-down menus and dialogue boxes.
The Network Node Manager (NNM) is an SNMP-based application
running under
the HP Open View Windows graphical user interface. It is a
configuration,
performance, and fault management application for multivendor
TCP/IP
networks. It can automatically discover devices on the network,
and create
an environment of interactive maps and submaps. These maps
contain related
objects which represent entities or resources on the network.
Management
and edit actions can be performed on these network objects. The
NNM can
monitor and control agent systems (devices on the network)
through SNMP.

NMA MIBs for HP Open View NNM
Use the NMA 2.1 MIBS in NMAUX1.EXE to compile and load the MIBs
on the HP
Open View Network Node Manager.
C. IBM SystemView for AIX
--------------------------
Version: SystemView for AIX , Version 3
Platform: IBM, RISC System / 6000
OpenView Windows (OVW):
- is the principal SystemView for AIX graphical user interface
for managing
TCP/IP-based internets.
- provides map drawing, map editing, and menu management
operations.
- is an X11/Motif application based on OSF/Motif user interface
guidelines.
SystemView for AIX discovers and updates the topology of IP
networks and
translates the information into symbols that appear on the view
you see of
your network's map. SystemView for AIX uses background
processes, or
daemons, that run continuously. These daemons provide services
that must
be available at all times. These daemons fall into the
following
categories:
Topology discovery and database operation, Event and trap
processing, and
Host connection. A system of interconnected maps and submaps
containing
network manageable objects can be automatically discovered.
SystemView for
AIX Users can access network management functionality through
pull-down
menus and dialogue boxes.
SystemView for AIX is an SNMP-based application. It is a
configuration,
performance, and fault management application for multivendor
TCP/IP
networks. SystemView for AIX executes network management
operations which
monitor and control agent systems (devices on the network)
through SNMP.
NMA MIBs for IBM SystemView for AIX
Use the NMA 2.1 MIBS in NMAUX1.EXE to compile and load the MIBs
on the IBM
SystemView for AIX.
